Man Utd star who’s been told he ‘shouldn’t be’ at Old Trafford now ranks above every PL player for attacking feat

Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United star who has been told he "shouldn't be" at Old Trafford, has now surpassed every Premier League player in terms of attacking contributions. Despite making six appearances since being reintegrated into the squad, Rashford has failed to score and is currently injury-free. However, he has created the most chances (13) in the Premier League during the first five gameweeks.

United manager Thomas Tuchel recently called Rashford up for England's international break, though he has since withdrawn due to injury. Manchester United's only goal of the match came from Matheus Cunha's 89th-minute equalizer at Craven Cottage. Sam Allardyce criticized Rashford's recent performances on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, stating that he "shouldn't be there" and questioning the value United received for his transfer. Despite the criticism, there are reasons to be optimistic about Rashford.
